Three former NYPD police officers have filed a $30 million lawsuit against the Manhattan DA claiming they were wrongfully charged in a massive 9/11 social security ripoff three years ago.

Philip Blessinger, Scott Greco and John Byrne say in their new Manhattan federal court lawsuit that they were among 106 people arrested in the massive disability scam because DA Cyrus Vance was so “caught up in the publicity aspect” of the case.

“Had any proper investigation been conducted, plaintiffs would never have been indicted” on grand larceny charges, the suit says.

Blessinger, Greco and Byrne claim they were lawfully qualified for disability benefits — but were duped by ringleaders Raymond Lavallee, Joseph Esposito and Thomas Hale, who filed bogus paperwork on their behalf in exchange for payments.

“Although the primary targets were properly indicted, plaintiffs were merely swept up due to unwittingly and innocently associating themselves with bad apples,” the complaint says.

Blessinger, who served as an NYPD cop from 1968 to 1972, retired on disability from the Nassau County Police Department in 1991.

Greco retired from the NYPD in 2003 and Byrne, a former US Marine, left the NYPD due to a line-of-duty injury in 2008 after serving since 1992.

The criminal charges against the three men were dismissed in August — but they say the damage is done.

“All of the plaintiffs have significant health issues and defendants wantonly and directly exacerbated plaintiffs’ health issues with each action and inaction defendants took,” the suit says.

The city and several prosecutors are also named as defendants.

“The complaint will be reviewed,” a city Law Department spokesman said.
